- What it's supported on is Y columns, so the columns come up and on the top of each Y is a base isolator, it's a friction pendulum isolator, and so that has been engineered to take the mass at each location, and so at the edges you might have a different size friction pendulum, in the middle you have another size, and those move and it's calculated that the amount of friction force that is taken at each location allows it to move exactly how much it needs to move, and the friction part is what holds it into place.
支撐它的是 Y 型立柱，所以立柱是向上的，每個 Y 型立柱的頂端都有一個底座隔離器，它是一個摩擦擺隔離器，所以它的設計可以承受每個位置的品質，所以在邊緣你可能會有一個不同尺寸的摩擦擺，在中間你會有另一個尺寸的摩擦擺，這些都是可以移動的，經過計算，在每個位置承受的摩擦力可以讓它準確地移動到需要移動的位置，而摩擦部分就是將它固定到位的東西。
- It's a friction pendulum isolator.
但無論發生什麼，它都是美麗的。

- Now because I'm in this lower position you will notice that I do have to kind of break at the waist and bend over at the waist somewhat but even with holding that position I am still able to maintain my line because I just rock my whole sort of unit like a pendulum over the top of the board to help me make the edge change.
現在，由於我的位置較低，你會注意到我的腰部確實需要折一下，腰部需要彎一下，但即使保持這樣的姿勢，我仍然能夠保持我的線路，因為我只是把我的整個裝置像鐘擺一樣在木板頂端搖晃，幫助我進行邊緣變化。
- but even with holding that position, I am still able to maintain my line because I just rock my body as a whole sort of unit, like a pendulum, over the top of the board to help me make the edge change.
